💖 XMLSCHEMA-VALIDATE 💖

okay bestie, welcome to xmlschema-validate, a whole XML validator that lives in your terminal and is genuinely about to be your new hyperfixation. this is the xmlschema-validate(1) page, section User Commands, and we're gonna walk through it together like it's a group chat at 2am. no gatekeeping, no vibes lost, every single flag accounted for. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

xmlschema-validate — XML validator

like. that's the name. that's the job. she validates XML. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

the usage line is literally:

usage: xmlschema-validate [OPTION]... [FILE]...  Try 'xmlschema-validate --help' for more information.

and if you're confused, she's got you: Try 'xmlschema-validate --help' for more information. 🫶

so what does she do, bestie? she validates a set of XML files. that's it. that's the whole personality. you hand her XML, she tells you if it's valid. iconic behaviour, honestly.

🦋 positional arguments: 🦋

  • [XML_FILE ...] — the XML files to be validated. yes, plural, you can feed her a whole lil squad of files at once. slay.

✨ options: ✨

  • -h, --help — show this help message and exit. the classic. the safe word. when in doubt, ask for help and she dips. 😌
  • -v — increase output verbosity. want her to talk more? give her more -v. she's a yapper when you let her. 🗣️
  • --schema PATH — path or URL to an XSD schema. tell her where the schema lives — local path or a whole URL, she's flexible like that. 🔥
  • --version VERSION — XSD schema validator to use (default is 1.0). no cap, the default is 1.0, so if you don't say anything she's running 1.0 energy. ⭐
  • -L URI/URL URI/URL — schema location hint overrides. takes two values, both URI/URL, and overrides where the schema is hinted to be. don't ask me to dumb it down further, that's literally what it does. 💀
  • --lazy — use lazy validation mode (slower but use less memory). she's taking the slow scenic route so your RAM doesn't cry. lowkey a mood. 🐌
  • --defuse with (always, remote, never) — when to defuse XML data, on remote resources for default. so your choices are always, remote, or never, and if you pick nothing she defaults to defusing on remote resources. 🧨
bestie heads up: --lazy is explicitly slower — the tradeoff is it uses less memory. that's the deal, take it or leave it. 🙈

👑 that's the whole page 👑

every flag, every default, every value, all present and accounted for. nothing skipped, nothing invented, we ate and left no crumbs. 💅✨

this was xmlschema-validate 4.1.0, from December 2025 — that's the version and the date, and she's out here being her whole main character self. go validate something, bestie. i'm obsessed with you. 🌈💖🎀🦋🌸🫶🔥👑
